I have a new Kindle now, and LOVE it. Reading on the iPad is also fun – I use it on night mode, so that reduces the glare. But the Kindle is zero glare, very much like a book, and oh-so-light. Fits right in the palm of my hand (yes, I have a large palm […]

I was mentioning to my kids the other day that they should be reading world news, since really you should know what’s going on outside your corner of the world.

Earlier I’d posted an entry for the Favorite Female Character contest at Women’s Web. This was fun to write, since I do enjoy the series and Mma Ramotswe is the main reason the series is what it is. If you haven’t read these wonderful books yet, do go find them; they are well-worth the time. I […]
